Browser date field format in header

I am using Browser 2.0 for some ad hoc queries on an Oracle
7.2.3 database.
My client is running Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4.
Regional settings are set to English (Australia).
The page setup in Browser allows you in the header or footer to
insert the a date field via "&d". Documentation states this is
system generated.
However, in the print preview and print out the date is
formatted as MM/DD/YY. I need to have it formatted as DD-MON-
YYYY.
Can anyone suggest to me from which system the format is being
generated or any
suggestions on how to change it in.
Thanks

can you paste the timestamp being displayed?
You can use, format-date function or other, but its all based on the data you have for DATE.

  • XMLPub 5.6.3: Data fields missing in Header/Footer

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with an RTF template, where the data fields in the
    template Header or Footer that should display data do not appear at all, while
    the fixed text that is in the Header/Footer is shown.
    This template is built with the start:body/end body syntax to separate
    the fields that belong to the Header/Footer from the body of the report. The
    body has a for-each@section that works fine and a split-by-page-break at the
    end, after the Footer fields.
    I played a little bit with the template and I found out, that:
    - if I change my template not to use the start:body/end body syntax, but I use
    the Header/Footer Word functionality with the explicit field names specified in
    the header or footer, the data fields will not be displayed;
    - if I remove the for-each@section, the data fields in the Header (before the
    start:body) and in the Footer (after the end body) are displayed correctly;
    - if I duplicate in my XML file one of the elements that are in the Header and I put it
    in the child group that is displayed in the repeating section and I add another data
    field in that section, it will display both in the Header and in the repeating section;
    This very template works fine on an E-Biz instance at another customer site, but
    only here it's showing this issue.
    It also looks like a different problem than the one caused by the Microsoft
    security update. In fact, I cannot not find any "/headerr" or "/ footerr"
    strings in the template RTF. (Anyway, is there a patch for version 5.6.3?)
    Can anybody shed some light on this strange issue? Any advice?
    I am using XMLPub Desktop 5.6.3 and MS Word 2000 9.0.6926 SP-3.
    If someone wants to have a look, I've prepared a small test example to show this weird behavior.
    Thanks,
    Paolo

    ashee1,
    Please refer XMLP User Guide Chapter 9. You need to define data definitions and upload the data template to DataTemplate filed.
    Create the Template Definition and upload your RTF Template.
    Create a Report Definition in Concurrent Program/Manager and set the executable as XDODTEXE. make sure the program short name is the same as Data Definition.
    Set the output type as XML and the OPP will pick your RTF Template.

  • Date Field Formatting

    Hi All,
    I'm back already! Learning Flash is beginning to get to me
    again so I returned for yet more help!
    I've written the following AS code to get tomorrow's date . .
    // Calculates today's date and tomorrow's date
    var dToday:Date = new Date();
    dToday.getDate()
    trace("today: " + dToday) //today's date
    myD = dToday.getDate() + 100; // plus one day
    var dTomorrow:Date = new Date();
    dTomorrow.setDate(myD)
    trace("new: " + dTomorrow) //tomorrow's date
    var strDate:String = new String();
    var strDate = String(dTomorrow);
    trace("String: " + strDate);
    The strDate string returns the following value . . . "Tue Jul
    11 16:19:57 GMT+0100 2006".
    That is all well and good but I want to convert it into the
    following format for comparison with another field . . .
    "200607111619" which is basically the same value in the following
    format . . . "yyyymmddhhmm".
    Does the only way of doing this involve using parsing logic
    to break down the original string and then reconstruct it in the
    required format using variables from the broken down original
    string?
    I have tried looking at the Date Field object notes in my
    book but it does not give me anything as regards this programming
    requirement. The only thing I can find that might suit this purpose
    is string parsing logic. Am I right or is there an easier way to
    set a date field format?
    Any help would as always be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Kevin.

    I'm working on an application which requires a valid Voucher
    Number to proceed. The Voucher number is based on a combination of
    'date/time/no of items' (e.g. 20060711095802 which is today at
    09:58 (on a 24 hr clock) for 2 (02) items).
    As this date this date/time Voucher Number logic is
    essentially sequential, in that each subsequent Voucher Number will
    be greater than the last good known Voucher Number entered into the
    application (which is already stored in a variable field for
    comparison). But it must also be less than tomorrow's date, for
    which the Voucher Number would always be tomorrow's date (e.g.
    20060712 at 00:00 hrs for 00 items, thus giving 20060712000000).
    This is the value that I'm trying to ascertain from the date field
    logic.
    It would thus be really handy for comparison if I could just
    format tomorrow's date and time in the format yyyymmddhhmm and just
    add '00' to the end of the string.
    I don't like the idea of using the milliseconds value as it
    will be necessary then to convert the Voucher Number entered to a
    date field for comparison.

  • Determine Date field format dynamically

    Hello friends,
    I'm writing some database access code in java. The biggest problem I face is date fields. Because I don't know the date field format (For example, in SQL Sever we can have dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy, etc), I can't format dates for insert/update statements.
    Is there a way to determine the date field format dynamically? Regardless of database, for ex. MS SQL, Oracle?
    Thank you.

    Hey!
    There is a way to do this! The Oracle Database understands SQL92 Syntax. So you can use
    - {d ?yyyy-mm-dd?} for date representation,
    - {t ?hh:mm:ss?} for time representation,
    - {ts ?yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.f...?} for timestamp rep.
    Here is a small example:
    // Connect to the database
    // You can put a database name after the @ sign in the connection URL.
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
    ("jdbc:oracle:oci8:@", "scott", "tiger");
    // Create a Statement
    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement ();
    // Select the ename column from the emp table where the hiredate is Jan-23-1982
    ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery
    ("SELECT ename FROM emp WHERE hiredate = {d ?1982-01-23?}");
    // Iterate through the result and print the employee names
    while (rset.next ())
    System.out.println (rset.getString (1));I hope this is what you wanted to know!

  • Use of revision no,revision date field in bom header details screen

    Hi all,
    Please let me know use of revision no,revision date field(customer fields tab) in bom header details screen.I tried with F1 ,no information.
    Thanks
    Sukumar

    Dear,
    In standard SAP in BOM header overview there are 4 tabs.
    Quants/Long text.
    Further Data
    Admin Data
    Doc Assignment.
    I think Customer fields tab may be customized based on client's requirement.
    I Know about revision level. It Identifies the change status of a material.
    The revision level can be uniquely assigned to changes made using a change number.
    Hope this helps. Correct me if i my understanding of the problem is  wrong.

  • IDoc posted in R/3 but data for Date field has not generated.

    Hi Experts
    This is JDBC to IDoc scenarion.
    Source: MS SQL Server
    Date Data Type: smalldatetime
    Date field Format: yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss --> example: 2009-11-13 00:00:00
    XI Mapping: Source Date --> Transformation --> Target Date
    Transformation: yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss to yyyyMMdd
    Target: R/3 System
    Date Data Type:  ERDAT from VBAK table - Date on Which Record Was Created
    Date field Format: Date field (YYYYMMDD) stored as char(8)
    Check points:
    1. Mapping is working fine in XI and transformation is done with the test data: 2009-11-13 00:00:00  --> to ---> 20091113
    2. In SXMB_MONI the data is processed from the source and the IDoc XML data is generated. In the IDoc XML data the date field is containing the value <DATE>20091113</DATE>
    3. But when I tried to open the IDoc(SE05) in R/3 the date field is empty and no data is generated.
    Request you to let me know why the error is happening.
    Regards
    Ram

    Hi Ram,
    First try to test the same IDOC generated in ECC Box by populating date field value using WE19 and test .
    Or
    Instead of passing date value from SQL Server, Just give a try with  Current Date function in Mapping and test in ECC system.
    then we can think on further analysis.

  • Update BOM revision no,date field automatically

    Hi all,
    My client requirement is this.
    Whenever bom is changed using a change nomber ,Revision no,revision date field in BOM header should get  updated automatically.
    This is very urgent.Please guide me how to do the settings.
    Thanks and Regards
    Skumar

    Dear,
    Whenever a BOM is Changed,use a new Change number and against that Change number give the Reason for Change as some Revision level.
    As for a material ,revision level can be made directly using T code CC11,but for a BOM , there is no direct T code for this.
    Please refer this also,

    Hi,
    that's quite easy to realize with FormCalc.
    In you date fields exit event add the following code:
    textField1 = Num2Date( Date2Num($.formattedValue, "MM/DD/YYYY"), "YYYY")
    Note: This sample assumes that your date field formats the date with "MM/DD/YYYY". You may have to change the pattern to make it work at your end.

  • Formatted Search for Delivery Date field in SO not working

    I am currently using SAP B1A SP01 Patch 19.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks and best wishes

    HI Gail,
    If I am not mistaken you want to add days to the posting date...if that is so then try this out:
    SELECT $[ORDR.DocDate.DATE]+5 From ORDR T0 For Browse
